Perfectly suited.They really paid attention in usability class and got an A in the product development lab. I wish there were more than 5 stars here.

Simply Awesome!!I started setting up and using Podio for my company 2 days ago. Only two words to describe it - simply brilliant! It is the best social and complete experience I could ask for. The concept of Apps to configure the workspaces, gives the exact customizations you want. The iPhone app is equally productive and possibly one of the most productive App I have on my iPhone.
The Interaction design is outstanding!
The only requests/comment I would have is -
1) The graphical/visual elements are barebone. The color, graphics, element placement choices and look and feel could use some work. Afterall, for long term productive use, the visual look and feel are as important.
2) Also there are no Apps for data visualizations for doing a bit more advanced graphical representations or analysis around trends, progress, charts etc.
3) Have other choices of video/chat conferencing embedded as a default app ( other than just Citrix Goto meeting - join.me, skype, Cisco Jabber would be good choices).

Jump into the new paradigm with this app and its websitePodio is the lifehacking ship we've been waiting for. Not just for businesses but for anyone who works in teams. Today, this is probably the best platform for actually working hand in hand with others and getting things done. Podio allows you to contextualize tasks and build apps, which are basically places where you can weave information in and out. To achieve this, it integrates pretty well with email, the web and other platforms such as google docs, evernote and dropbox. But more importantly it integrantes well with our brains and our socioemotional inclinations. That is why using it is simple and does not require any technical knowledge, just the guts to jump into the new paradigm. You might feel uncomfortable at first, as you realize how attached you can be to the old way of doing things. But as you let go, doing next to each other will steadily become more efficient, exciting and just plain fun. Jump!
